pickThis book is so cute, and such a quick read. It‘s cheerful and inclusive. The illustrations are fun and engaging (and sometimes downright funny). This is such a great book for everyone. I firmly believe everyone knows a they, but might not be a safe person to know about it. This book is definitely a step toward that safety and inclusivity everyone needs.

We have two little libraries on our 6th-12th grade campus. It was a senior project many years ago but still going strong. Seeing their colorful patterns and well-tousled books makes me smile. They are used and loved. My #BeautyBreak for today 😊
Popped over to beautiful Bruny Island for a couple of nights. Surprised to see so many tourists in the middle of winter.
They have 6 little libraries on the island, made by the Men's Shed. I've visited 5 and will swing by no.6 on the way to the ferry.
pickIt's a cute color book. It's hard to see, but the authors' names are in pink. #ISpyBingoJune @TheAromaofBooks
pickNice book but only 3.5 stars. I like the idea, but it seemed that the child felt too much pressure to “choose” their pronouns & words for the day. A better way the adults could have dealt with it is explained that the child was still valid even if they couldn‘t find their “words” for the day. Still, a good book for introducing children to the concept of pronouns. ⬇️

so-soA choose your own adventure book for learning about gender identity, sexuality, & the differences between biological sex & gender identity.
Fairly basic, sometimes reductive & repetitive, & occasionally plays up stereotypes. But is also a fun starting point for anybody‘s journey into learning more about gender identity, while also briefly touching on the intersections of race, class, & disability & the difficulties facing those groups.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Soft pick because this is a frustrating, sometimes painful read. It's a great illustration of the phrase “don't be your child's first bully,“ though the mom certainly isn't the worst; she doesn't put her child in conversion camp or pray over him or kick him out, just refuses to accept his name and identity. Just.
It's certainly a valid story and she does learn and grow, becoming a “SuperAlly!“ in the end. Includes a letter from the son.
You fear that Alex will be marginalized, but the first and foremost marginalization is family rejection.
